“Video of PM Modi admitting to stealing in his childhood”
What FACTLY found
This video has been conveniently clipped from a longer speech by PM Modi in Siliguri, West Bengal on 10 April 2021 where he was narrating a story about a robber in the context of criticising TMC-led West Bengal government. Modi was referring to a robber and about his mother not stopping him from stealing during his childhood. This has been shared without context to give the impression that Modi is talking about himself
